the hitman hits theatres


The movie " Hitman" has recently come out in theatres. The movie was based on a video game by EIDOS studios about an assasin who was trained since the day he was born. Timothy Olyphant plays "Agent 47" the trained assasin who has orders to kill the president of Russia. He meets a woman who he was also assigned to kill named Nina Boronina. They began to have a romance, and share a secret (for him, not much). At first, I was skeptical about the casting, even when the movie started, but after awhile he started to fit the role. The movie is very entertaining, and will remain loyal to the fans, but the relationship between 47 and Nina, seems thrown in, and useless, actually I would prefer her not to be in. So, if you are looking for a fast-paced, exciting, but non romantic flick, then this is for you. It will also probably remind you of The Bourne Identity, except not as good. Final Grade: B
